It's rapidly starting to look and feel like summer around here and the convention season is coming up on us faster than ever, it seems! We have two creators attending conventions this weekend: Martin Brandt, writer of Laces (featured in RPC#1) and Kidthulhu (cover feature of RPC#4) will be at Annapolis Comic-Con at the Moyer Rec Center in Annapolis, Maryland Saturday the 24th and Sunday the 25th. He'll have copies of RPC#1, 3 and 4 along with copies of his Grim Crew Comics books (Dead Future and Grim Furry Tales). Brandon Barrows, writer of Voyaga, will be at the Vermont Small Press & Comic Expo right in our backyard at the Winooski Downtown Center in Winooski, Vermont this Saturday the 24th. He'll have copies of Reasonably Priced Comics #1-4, SCIENCE! and a selection of books from other publishers. Next month sees the release of Reasonably Priced Comics #5, featuring the final chapter of Book 1 of Voyaga, a one-off superhero comedy from Alex De-Gruchy called "The Perfect Moment" and the cover-featured continuation of Laces in a new story arc called "Dead Don't Talk". Below is the fantastic cover new Laces artist Martinho Abreu did for the new story! More details soon!
Happy Fourth of July weekend for those of our fellows in the states! It's a beautiful day here in the northeast and we hope it's a beautiful day where you are, as well. If you're in the Los Angeles area, go visit Chu Wei at the Anime Expo down at the LA Convention Center and wish her a happy fourth in person! We also just added a bunch of new creator appearances (featuring some new-to-RPC creators!) on the Events & Appearances page. Check 'em out, see if there's one near you, then stop by and say hi!
Yessiree, two updates in one day! We've got that much to say! This weekend, July 1st through 4th, if you're in the Los Angeles area go see Chuwei the writer/artist behind "My Girlfriend Is A Gamer" from the first issue of RPC. She'll have copies of Reasonably Priced Comics #1 as well as merchandise related to her strip Four The Win and she'll be doing sketches. Tell her we said hi! We've also added some additional events for other creators and hope to be adding more soon as the summer convention season heats up, so check back frequently!
Two updates in one day? Yessir, that's right! Just in, a review of Jack Hammer: Political Science #1 by new fan Shaun Daniels over at www.horrorhaven.com. Shaun discovered Jack Hammer at Boston Comic Con this weekend, and it sounds like he's glad he did! You can read his brief review of the first issue here http://horrorhavenreviews.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/boston-comic-con-2011-indie-spotlight/. Thanks for the kind words, Shaun! And, for those who've been asking about it, a print of the cover of Reasonably Priced Comics #2 is now available!

Afternoon, folks! This past weekend was a big one if you're a comics fan in the Northeast. Boston Comic Con drew a record 6,000 people over Saturday and Sunday our own Brandon Barrows shook hands with about a third of them! Brandon reports that the con was lively and fans seemed to enjoy artists' alley and the independents' tables as much as those of the well-known creators. He also reported selling out of the first issue of Jack Hammer and moving healthy numbers of the second issue as well as both issues of Reasonably Priced Comics! Matt "Doc" Martin, co-host of the Retcon Radio podcast (along with Martin Brandt, writer of Laces), interviewed Brandon at the convention and they talked about Jack Hammer, our anthology and other things. Check it out here! http://www.bonus-level.com/2011/05/04/retcon-radio-7-independents-day/ RPC creators are heading to more cons this month, as well, with Brandon appearing at Granite Con 2011 in Manchester, NH on May 15th and Chuwei appearing at FanimeCon 2011 in San Jose, CA the 27th through the 30th. Go out and meet 'em! They'll be happy you did. Last for today, our new anthology SCIENCE! is shaping up nicely but we still have room for 16-20 pages' worth of comics. We are planning the book to be about 48 pages and we'd love to have you participate. You can go to this blog post for the full details http://www.reasonablypricedcomics.com/1/post/2011/04/new-anthology-in-the-works.html and please remember, all submissions must be accompanied by the signed release form on our submissions page.
